TIE strong rooted sensibility in
women is the cause of their charac-
teristic persistency in all matters that
depend in any considerable degree on
sentiment. It is in vain to combat
sentiment with reasons. A woman
with strong passions and fine sensibil-
ity will hold by her instincts, and
leave your arguments to float, and in
so-doing may, in some cases, be right;
but If the case is one in which cool
judgment and not keen feeling is to
decide she will probably be wrong.
Arguments in such cases are stronger
with a man, because he is naturally
less richly furnished with sentiment
or has trained himself to keep his
sentiment in subiection; but with the
woman it is omnipotent, as belonging
radically to the constitution of her ma
ture.

Are you in favor of the prohibition
amendment? If not, please give your
reasons for opposing it.
THE above question asked Judge
Matthew p. Deady, was answered 10y
him as follows:
Il am not in favor of prohibition,
because know from experience and
in the nature of things that prohibi-
ton is incapable of reasonable or
practical enforcement. Prohibition
will put the liquor business into the
hands of the worst and most ire
sponsible elements in the community
and thereby magnify the evils grow
ing out of the use and sale of liquors.
1 want to see the sale of liquor gov
erned by a good license law which
will put it and keep it in the hands of
comparatively respectable people who
will not make it an engine of corrup-
ton and crime. Besides, L don't be-
heve the state has the moral right to
say whether the individual should
drink or not so long as he does not
use liquor TO excess. Nor do 1 think
/ ought to compelled to wear a
straight jacket because my neighbor
is out of his head, nor to be limited or
restrained in my diet because my
neighbor is afflicted with drunken
ness"

THE AsToRIAN opposes prohibition
because in its judgment prohibition Is
not American; it is an impossible the
ory, business mistake. Duty and TO-
day are ours: results and futurity be-
long to God. 1t is the duty OF an
American citizen to resent attacks on
hispersonal liberty; to oppose infringe
ment of his personal rights. III preju-
dice or inability to see results affect his
Judgment, it is unfortunate; but every
man can only act from q sincere con-
yiction, and whether for or against, it
is a fair presumption that what he
does is in accordance with his honest
belief. The AsToRIAN would be sorry
TO see prohibition carry, for it is its
belief that il it did, it would but in
augurate bitter personal spying sys-
tenn that would make this community
and every community in the state
unpleasant to live or do bus
mess in. 1t is, however, unnec-
essary to discuss imaginary circum-
stances. THE Historian has too much
faith in the good judgment, the busi-
ness sense, the sober, quiet reason of
its readers to suppose that they will
next Tuesday endorse by an affirma-
tive vote the present effort to accom-
plish the impossible; to plunge the
state in financial chaos in a chase az
ter the ideal and unattainable. The
mind of bigot is like the pupil of the
eye: the more light you pour on it,
the more it contracts; but an unpreiu-
diced judgment is always ready to re-
ceive impressions and act in accord
ance with the light it receives.

News fir ON the agricultural dis
tricts of California is far more sat-
isfactory and encouraging than that
which comes from the San Francis
CO stock markets, where spectators
in mining shares and dishonest bro
kers are taking the savings of the
deluaed poor. Varying estimates Of
the size of the years vintage are
made, but it is admitted by all that
the wine crop Of 1885 exceeds that
of any previous year. The CALL as
serts that the crop is 100000
gallons; prominent wine merchants
say it is 100000 gallons, and Mr..
De Young, of the CHRONICLE, pro-
misses 100000 gallons. Last
years crop was only 100000 gal
Ions. The quality of this years vim
tage is said to be excellent. The
raisin crop is also very large. The
CALLS estimate is 100000 boxes of
20 pounds each, as against 100000
boxes in 1885. Other estimates are
larger. The grape crop is enormous.
Out of 356,OO0,O0O pounds 10000,
600 have been shipped eastward to
be used as table fruit, 20,OO0,0OO
have been consumed in the same
form at home, 100000 have been
used in making brandy, 100000
appear in the form of raisins, and
the remainder has been consumed
in making wine. The eastward ship
ments of lemons, lines, and oranges,
will be twice as large as they were
last year, it is said, owing to . re-
duction Of the freight charges.
The greatest market for Califor
MIA wines and raisins will be found
in the Eastern seaboard States. The
notorious adulteration of French
wines has prepared this market fol
the California product. 1t has crea.
ted a demand for purity in wines
and this is demand which Califor
MIA can supply. Now the Californis
producer should strive to perfect {
plan by which he can put his goods
into this market under conditions
that will convince, the consumer
that he enjoys all the advantages
which he would have if he should
buy at the vineyards. -Yorl

1t is with regret that this week
we have to chronicle the death of
General John A. Logan, which look
place on Sunday afternoon last at
his home in Washington. Conceded
hy all to have been the most illus.
trious volunteer soldier in the Union
armies during the war, his political
life since has been almost equal to
his military record. The greatest
tribute to his honesty and integrity
during his long political career is
that he died poor man. The
